Title : A longitudinal study of site prevalence associated clinical and socio-demographic factors, treatment and outcome in non-traumatic intra-cranial hemorrhage patients presenting at a tertiary care facility in NCR, India

Abstract:

Aim/Background: To study prevalence and outcomes associated with clinico-socio-demographic factors in treated NTICH (non-traumatic intra-cranial hemorrhage) patients in Institute Of Human Behaviour And Allied Sciences (IHBAS).
Materials and Methods: Study Population: All newly and previously diagnosed NTICH patients presenting to the Neurosurgery Department.
Selection Criteria: Mandatory written informed consent from patient or caregiver.
Inclusion: Diagnosis confirmed via clinical history and NCCT Brain imaging.
Exclusion: Patients referred out or those who left against medical advice (LAMA).
Sample Size & Technique: 100 cases selected via total enumeration (census method) to reflect real-time patient load.
Data Collection: Consecutive enrollment based on anatomical classification of hemorrhage on NCCT. Data was gathered using a structured questionnaire covering GCS scores, clinical/biochemical features, socio-demographics, treatment, and outcomes.
Data Analysis: Statistical analysis performed using the latest version of SPSS.
Results: This study analyzes 100 NTICH cases collected via total enumeration over 33 months. Diagnosis and anatomical classification were confirmed using NCCT Brain imaging. The analysis correlates clinico-socio-demographic variables and GCS scores with patient outcomes. Ethical Status: Final statistical analysis and data presentation are pending Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) approval. Upon clearance, the full dataset will be processed using SPSS to determine definitive prevalence rates and clinical associations.
Discussion/Conclusion: This study highlights the critical need for structured longitudinal data in managing non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage within a tertiary care setting. The definitive conclusions and statistical inferences will be established upon receiving ethical clearance.
